BOTTLE SAFETY HOLDER.

Application led September 11, 1924. Serial No. 737,173.

To all whom 'it may concem:

Be it known that' I, THOMAS JOHN LILLY, a subject of the King of Great Britain, and

'residing at the city of Montreal, in the Province of Quebec, in the Dominion of Canada have invented. a new and useful Bottle Safety Holder, of which the followin is the specification.

- he invention relates to a bottle safety holder, as described in -the present specilication and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, that form part of the same. rl'he invention consists essentially of the novel features of construction pointed out broadly and speciically in the claims for novelty following a,description containing an' explanation 1n detail of an acceptable form of the invention.

The objects of the invention are to safe guard the contents of bottles containing milk or other fluids and also'the bottles themselves in their full state; to afford sanitary precautions in the delivery of Vmilk in bottles; to facilitate the removal of the bottle by the housewife without resorting to keys, latches or other fastenings; to'avoid great losses to the milk dealers through the theft of bottles; and. generally to 44provide a simple device within easy reach of the consumer so far\as price is concerned and of In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective lviewl of the inventionshowing a door and door frame, both broken' away, and milk bottles in the locking device non-removable therefrom.

Figure 2 is a similar view showing the device open and the milk Abottles removable therefrom.

Fi re 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional detai of the device showing the rim of a bottle.

Fi re 4 is an enlarged longitudinal sectiona view showing the locking spring in Vengagement with a ottle.,l

Figure 5 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the bearin s and pivot rod.

Like' numerals 0% reference indicate corresponding parts in the various figures.

. Referring to the drawings, the rim holder 6 is formed of an inverted channel bar having the inwardly curled side walls 7 and 8 adapted to curl around the rim of the bottle sliding therein. The lugs 9, 10 and 11- extend from the wall 7 and have the Pivot rod holes 12 through which the pivot rod 13 extends and therebeyond at each end, at one end extending far enough to project through the bearing bracket 14 and at the other end through the bearing bracket 15 said rod 13 being ixedly secured -in the lugs 9, 10 and 11.

In the mountingthe-said lugs on the rod 13, the holdr 6 is much nearer to one end of the rod than the other, -thereby permitting the said roda sliding movement in the bearing bracket 15 in order to insert the other end of the rod in the bearing 14, which will enable the user to remove the holder,

entirely when not required. The bracket 15 is secured to the door 16. ad'a-cent to the edge 17, which is at the hinge side secured by the hinges 18. The other bearing bracket 14 is spaced to leaveroom for the holder 6 between the bearing brackets and some more to insure slidingspace for the pivot rodin slipp' g said rod into its bearings. The door 16 closes the door way formed y the easement 19 and the latter forms a permanent abutment for the rod 13, `so long as the door is closed and also a closure4 for the inner end of the holder 6.

Towards the outer end of the holder the llat spring 20 is secured by the rivet 21 to the holder 6 and extends' downwardly and inwardly, so asto 'snap behind any bottle rim and in from the outer end of said holder. Y

`1 In the use of this invention-the bearing brackets are secured to the door or other closure the requisite distance apart and the holder having the pivot rod'attached thereto -is, rst inserted in the bearing bracket near to the easement edge of the door until the rod is far enough beyond the bearing bracket to permit the other end to be inserted in the other bearing bracket.

In this position when the door is closed the end of the pivot rod is adjacent to the easement, in fact sanear that it cannot be pulled out from the outer bearing bracket, therefore it is quite safely mounted in its bearings and can only be removed therefrom after the door is open though ordinariwithout removing the bearings or any part of the holder.'

los

limited by the length of the bar. To remove the bottles the housewife simply removes them by pulling through the slideway when the house door 1s opened for then the easement is well out of the way and oers no obstacle to the removal of the bottle or bottles.

What I claim is l A bottle safety holder comprising an inverted channel plate adapted to suspend the 20 bottles therefrom, a plurality of lugs secured to one flange of said plate, and a ref movablev lpivotrod adapted to be inserted through said lugs and having its ends pro-Y jecting beyond the ends of said plate and 25 engaging a pair of bracket bearings rigidlfl secured to a door adjacent to a easement t ereof, said pivot rod adapted to be disengaged from said bracket bearings and said lugs 1n the open position of said door.
